Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Both page and browser chrome are affected -- with weird artifacting and all text wapping to a width of a single character.

Minimizing and restoring the window will fix the problem briefly, but it comes right back.

I'm using Hardy on a Dell XPS M1330 with an Nvidia GeForce 8400M.

The problem occurs both with and without the proprietary drivers.

This only seems to be happening in FF3 -- not other apps.

Attached is a screenshot illustrating the problem.
